Pros

Cool image (on the surface)

Cons

Partners lying, culture of bullying, and promoting bullies. 90% of colleagues hated the company. Promotes a trendy image but in reality the jobs are unrewardijg and meaningless. If you dont believe me, work there for 1 year and comment. They prefer to talk about the image rather than the job and roles. Glorified PowerPoint slaves.

Capco Response
5y
Thank you for the comment on our brand. Your other comments are completely at odds with the general feedback on Capco and clearly born out of a frustration with the firm rooted in your individual experience. There is no general culture of bullying in place at Capco. We are very strong in our condemnation of such behaviour and our commitment to take remedial action on response. We encourage staff to raise concerns to another Partner, Manager or HR contact so they can be properly investigated or to report them via the independent helpline and website that is available for this purpose. Capco role are both rewarding (we are regularly praised on this form for paying in advance of the market) and meaningful (we have an exemplary client list and we work in partnership on a wide range of innovative and leading edge projects . If the Capco you have experienced is not one where there are opportunities for progression and development then please don’t be a bystander. Raise your concerns in whatever format you think best and give us the change show a firm consistent with our brand and image. 100’s of individuals make the decision to join Capco each year and go on to have a very fulfilling and rewarding professional experience.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
